Though Ronaldo Valdez stumbled into showbiz by chance, it became unmistakably clear that he was destined to weave magic in front of the camera. Ronaldo's journey, which was sadly curtailed at the age of 77, unfolded as a captivating tale that commenced in 1966. He was discovered by the Comedy King Dolphy at a basketball court, where Dolphy was searching for an actor to share the screen with Susan Roces.
Known for his versatility, Valdez seamlessly navigated diverse characters, notably in his early years, complementing big stars. As we remember this icon, let's revisit some of his memorable roles:
1. 'The Mad Doctor of Mad Island' (1969): A horror film that marked his entry, setting the stage for more opportunities.
2. 'Lalakwe' (1985): A drama-comedy where Valdez portrayed Eric Verbo, showcasing his charm in a philandering role.
3. 'Karma' (1981): Directed by Danny Zialcita, this romantic drama starred Vilma Santos and Ronaldo Valdez in an intriguing plot of reincarnated lovers.

6. 'May Daga Sa Labas ng Lungga' (1984): A sex comedy by Danny Zialcita where Valdez showcased brilliance in playing the stereotypical gay character.
7. 'Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe' (1996): A departure from comedic roles, Valdez portrayed the aristocratic Earl of Dorincourt, earning praise for his performance.
8. 'May Minamahal' (1993): Ronaldo's warm portrayal of Cenon Fernandez, a loving father, earned him numerous awards for Best Supporting Actor.

Daniel Padilla's Surprise Move: Reverses Breakup Message to Kathryn Bernardo
Daniel Padilla's Surprise Move: Reverses Breakup Message to Kathryn Bernardo
Yesterday, on December 14, 2023, Daniel Padilla wiped away his heartfelt breakup message to ex-girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo
Netizens observed its disappearance from Instagram on November 30, 2023.
Once a poetic declaration of separation, Daniel's 'Ikaw at Ako' message now retains only its title.
This development sparks renewed hopes among KathNiel fans for a potential reunion of the beloved couple.
While Daniel's message is gone, Kathryn's breakup note remains intact on her Instagram.
KathNiel enthusiasts hold onto the prospect of a reunion, especially after witnessing Kathryn and Daniel together again at the Asia Artist Awards held tonight at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
On December 13, the duo demonstrated that they can still collaborate professionally despite their publicized breakup.

TVJ takes center stage as the true maestros behind Eat Bulaga!
TVJ takes center stage as the true maestros behind Eat Bulaga!
Just a while back, TVJ clinched the trademark victory for Eat Bulaga, leaving TAPE's trademark in the dust as the IPO gave it the boot.
In a pre-noon press conference last Wednesday, just before their show hit the airwaves, TVJ fielded questions like "How did it feel hearing the news?" and "When will you flaunt the name EAT BULAGA?"
Curious minds also probed into the origins of the iconic moniker, asking, "How did you come up with the name EAT BULAGA?"
Reporters couldn't help but inquire about TVJ's feelings regarding the opposing party's comments.
Paolo Contis assured the Kapuso crowd, saying, "Mga Kapuso, mahaba pa ang laban. Ibig sabihin legally, wala pang final. Okay?"
According to TVJ's legal representative, although the other party can appeal, the evidence solidly proves that Joey de Leon birthed EAT BULAGA, making them the rightful owners.
Not just chasing the green, TVJ emphasized during the presser that their pursuit isn't about the money; it's about securing the respect owed to them as the show's creators.
They're also pushing the other side to hand over the tapes of previous episodes featuring TVJ.
As TVJ holds their horses, patiently waiting for TAPE to comply with the law's decision before they fully embrace the name EAT BULAGA, their copyright infringement case is hanging in the balance, awaiting the final say.
Fans and legit dabarkads couldn't be happier. A massive shoutout to TVJ and the legit dabarkads—congratulations to your win!

Daniel Padilla expresses his support for Kathryn Bernardo amid split rumors
Daniel Padilla expresses his support for Kathryn Bernardo amid split rumors
Break-up this, break-up that. In today’s world where “Marites” has become even more prevalent due to social media, rumors of break-ups of celebrity couples have become more prevalent and harder to refute.
The latest victim: “Kathniel,” or the on-screen (and off-screen) romance between actors Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.
The rumors started on November 8 after celebrity reporter Ogie Diaz stated it in his vlog on his YouTube Channel.
Ogie Diaz even referenced Andrea Brillantes, who was linked to Daniel.
Ogie said, “Hanggang ngayon marami pa ring nangungulit sa amin, ‘Sina Kathryn at Daniel Padilla pa rin ba?'
“Talagang pinag-uusapan sa social media yung diumano nga’y hiwalayan ni Kathryn at ni Daniel na ang dahilan daw ay si—siyempre hindi naman ito confirmed, kaya dapat marinig din natin ang panig nila.
"Kasi nili-link si Daniel kay Andrea Brillantes."
He also added, “May nagchika pa sa akin na pasikretong nagkikita si Daniel at si Andrea."
Although Ogie stated that his statement had not yet been validated, many KathNiel followers instantly responded adversely.
They also labeled Ogie Diaz a "fake news peddler" because of what he said on his vlog that they believe is false.
Daniel Padilla simply debunked the KathNiel claims on Friday, November 10. He posted a video of his girlfriend from Preview, where she is this month's cover model.
In the video, Kathryn is getting ready for the shoot.
Daniel also liked the post before sharing it on his Instagram story.
He attached a cat GIF that sounds like Kathryn's nickname "Kath."
One netizen’s tweet (published as is), "Supreme Idol Daniel Padilla debunked all the breakup allegations thrown against him and girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo. Tama na sa fake news!"
Another one said, "Ayan na ah? daniel padilla finally debunking the kathniel break up allegations. clear na rin naman na siguro na fake news yung blythe

Rica Peralejo responds to "Christians" who criticize her family for celebrating Halloween.
Rica Peralejo and her family are well-known Christians.
Her husband is also a Pastor at their church.
People admired her family for being devout Christians until a post of hers went viral and a netizen singled out her family.
They were dressed as characters from popular games and graphic novels, such as Saitama from "One Punch Man," Super Mario, Ninjago, and Geometry Dash.
An Instagram user remarked on her family photo, “Why? Christians are not supposed to get involved in this Halloween thing”.
Rica then replied “If you mean Halloween to be demonic practices and evil stuff, then no one should (observe it). But if by Halloween we mean a big costume part with treats for kids, like a whole day candy affair, then I don’t see why not.”
She published a lengthy post in her Instagram stories outlining her opinions on Halloween after exchanging various instagram comments.
"Halloween has become wholesome in some ways, especially so for the kiddie parties and village trick or treating. So many kids now adults have had the best memories and family time every Halloween because the spirit has become so childlike," she wrote.
She also highlighted in her post that fearmongering is prevalent, particularly among Christians. “Fearmongering amongst Christian circles is so bothersome. So many parents have come up to me saying they were told not to for all sorts of things," Rica said.
She recalled a parent telling her about their experience going to Halloween parties and being told that by going, "they align with the devil" and their children will endure demonic horrors.
"All I can say is that if this is true, then satan should have won by today cause every year, we celebrate Halloween and people dress up all sorts of things and I still see no sign that the devil has overcome. So many people who also trick or treated as kids are fine today. Many of them are str

Liza Soberano makes her Hollywood debut in 'Lisa Frankenstein' official teaser trailer.
The official Lisa Frankenstein teaser trailer is now available!
Focus Features published the trailer, which depicts (un)typical adolescent life, including axe-swinging, grave digging, and a growing romance with an undead lad.
The nearly two-minute clip depicted a comical, yet spooky romantic adventure of an outcast named Lisa (played by Kathryn Newton) who became drawn to a corpse played by Cole Sprouse. She successfully revived him using a tanning machine, propelled by her love.
“Taffy says it’s a waste of time to try and fix a boy, it’s better to just accept a guy’s flaws," Lisa casually remarked with her zombie suitor in her bedroom.
It also revealed the first glimpse at Taffy, Liza Soberano's first role in Hollywood, who plays Lisa's dependable buddy.
Jenna Davis from the film M3GAN, Henry Eikenberry, Joe Chrest, and Carla Gugino are also in the cast.
Zelda Williams, the late Robin Williams' daughter, makes her directing debut with the picture. Diablo Cody, who also wrote Jennifer's Body, wrote it.
Lisa Frankenstein will hit theaters on February 9, 2024.

YouTube Channel Pinoy Pawnstars released a video of a woman and a young lady revealing that both had a relationship with Francis Magalona.
Abigail Rait went to Pawn Star and sold Francis Magalona’s jersey with their photo together and card with his signature for P500,000.

As per Abigail’s story, she went to Eat Bulaga to watch the noontime show and Francis M made the move to get her number. And that’s when it all started.
She admitted to being the mistress of Francis M and that it came to a point where they were having problems, and she was asking for more time from him. He did grant it by going home to her in Cavite from time to time, and eventually having a daughter with him.
A lot of fans did not believe her story and that she only had pictures and a jersey with him. And other netizens even dared her to do DNA tests to prove that her daughter is also Francis M’s.
Some netizens also believed her and complimented her daughter’s beauty and mentioned that she has similarities with Kiko.
Others commented that if she was really Francis M’s mistress, why talk now. Now that Francis M’s not here.
The family of Francis M remains quiet and hasn’t reacted to any of this.

Mackenyu Arata of 'One Piece' visits Manila in November
Mackenyu Arata of 'One Piece' visits Manila in November
Attention, One Piece enthusiasts! This year, the popular Mackenyu Arata will visit the Philippines.
The breakout star, who plays Roronoa Zoro in the live-action adaptation of One Piece, announced his attendance at the Manila Pop Culture Convention 2023 in a video posted on ManiPopCon's official page on Tuesday, September 26.
"To all my Filipino fans out there, I'm happy to share that I'll be appearing at the ManiPopCon in Manila from the 17th to the 19th," he said.
The event, which celebrates pop culture with huge geek activities, competitions, souvenirs, cosplays, and meet-and-greet sessions with various celebrities, will be held from November 17 to 19 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
In One Piece, Mackenyu excels as a skilled swordsman. In an interview with Timid Magazine, Mackenyu discussed how he balances the expectations of viewers who are already familiar with the source material with the need to offer a fresh and unique portrayal of his character.
"When I do live-action stuff, I always keep in mind that—I'm a fan of a lot of manga and anime, but when it comes to live-action, it's a completely different thing. You have to look at it differently. For me, film, anime, and manga, I just separate them," he said.
"So if you liked the manga, if you liked the anime, stick with it. If you want to try a new adventure, feel free to come watch my movies and shows," the actor continued.
Prior to One Piece, Mackenyu starred in Knights Of The Zodiac as Pegasus Seiya, an orphan who finds he's destined to defend the reincarnation of the goddess Athena and aid her in the quest to restore humanity.
He also appeared in 2017's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, 2021's Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, and 2022's Fullmetal Alchemist.

'I’m a PWD.' - Matet de Leon
'I’m a PWD.' - Matet de Leon
Matet revealed her incident in a store, when she was admonished for being in a Senior/PWD lane, in a Facebook post.
According to Matet, she was mortified by what happened. She also made certain that no senior citizen or physically challenged person came after her.
She also stated that she is a PWD due to Bipolar Disorder. And it is a PWD issue.
She wanted people to know that just because she appears normal does not imply she is not PWD. Because she is one of them, she has the right to utilize a PWD lane.
She wanted that people would stop discriminating towards PWDs who suffer from mental health illnesses and that they would be aware that they exist.
She was saddened by what she saw and hoped that it would not come to the point where they would have to wear their PWD ID around their neck to prevent being judged.
She also advised PWDs like herself to continue prioritizing senior folks and physically challenged individuals in the lane.
Mental health disorders are not a laughing matter, and those who suffer from them go through a lot, and people need to understand them better.
